Moving the photo down...
So promptly my wish was fulfilled! Goodness gracious! Now in Jagaddhatri page two photos too nearby does not give a tidy feeling. My photo, if possible can be moved under the History para. And please teach me how to upload photos from Wikicommons to wikipedia. — VMO 16:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

History merge
I have requested a history merge on Wangjing, Beijing, an article you created a short time ago. Please, next time when you create disambig pages like that, MOVE the page rather than copy and paste. This will preserve the history of the article which is necessary under the GFDL. Thanks, Metros 16:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the great surprise. -- P.K.Niyogi 12:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Geology of the Himalaya
Hi, you have added a references to the article on the Geology of the Himalaya. I am not sur that it makes any sense to cite the work of E. Catlos in reference to the fact that the Himalayas are the result of a collision between two continental tectonic plates (many geologist have said it before her and it is common knowledge anyway). However, if you really think that this citation is of any value, you should correct the link 1. [Elizabeth Jacqueline]. Cause it doesn't work Moumine 21:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi! this is a nice surprise... ya, been a bit busy with work... It seems if at all I type something in wikipedia, it's only to get into a argument :) something I plan to rectify.

Hi. The dates on the web page access is given in the "references" section. But I will also include it in the "notes" section with the "title" of the web page article as you suggest.thanksDineshkannambadi 17:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Bangla
There's a selected article drive for Bangla on the west Bengal portal. Do u know when this will be finally decided? I will try for FA sometime soon, just maybe wanted to get the selected article thing out of the way--ppm 05:28, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * okay its up for a FA drive. let's see--ppm 07:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Dash usage
Hi Dwaipayan,

Just curious. Why did you change the emdashes and endashes to their HTML equivalent in this edit. Is there any such recommendation. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:PKL
Long time since our editing paths crossed. Didnt see you on #wikipedia-in since then.

I finally got rid of the India portal clone at Portal:Kerala and it finally sports a (hopefully) better look. When you have time, please take a look, and let me know at Wikipedia:WikiProject India/Peer review/Portal:Kerala (or on my talk). Cheers!--thunderboltz(Deepu) 17:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Namaskar Dwaipayan, you may want to look at WikiProject_Bangladesh to put on your userpage. Bakaman  Bakatalk 06:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Dwaipayan!
Hope all is well my friend. With grant season ending here recently and the deadlines for GI meetings coming up, I've been a little busy. I see Bengali language is up for FAC now and that the pool of Indian admins is growing. Hope to see your name there soon as well. Just let us know. -- Samir धर्म 06:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Great work! And yes, please change it. --ppm 07:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
Felt great to see your msg. on my talkpage. Had I not been inactive on WP and busy elsewhere, I'd have nominated you at the rfa by now. It was great meeting you in person - so, the feeling is mutual! --Gurubrahma 07:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have been prodding him to an RfA for some time. Is it the right time at least now, buddy?--thunderboltz(Deepu) 13:43, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Tagore
I'm OK with it. To be honest, I was at first thinking it wasn't justified because, for example, famous American and Australian last names don't just redirect to the most famous person bearing the name. For example, Lachlan Macquarie probably got half of Australia named after him and is probably as well-known there as Tagore is in India, but Macquarie doesn't redirect to him. But then I thought about Gandhiji, and realized that to give Tagore the same one-name redirect is good. So it depends on culture, I guess. And thanks for doing it. :) Saravask 19:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Bangla
yes, odd terminolgy. that section needs to be shortened and corredted--ppm 03:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for the information on Bengali language. I've been quite busy lately and only able to check on the articles in my watchlist for vandalism. I'll take a look ASAP. As far as the spelling of Chau/ Chhau I don't see any problems with either as long as they link to the main article. Take care. Antorjal 17:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

I am rearranging the dialects section, which is really messed up, and will comment after that. But, you can go ahead and do it if you feel!--ppm 21:41, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Bengali language
Can we have a dialect map as in the article Swedish language. I think if we can add it we will get an add on in the FA drive.Amartyabag 12:22, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your suggestion. I have made a small inclusion but I am not able to locate good material for jatra. I have been hunting a lot. I will put it in when I get it. Birbhum District has just been rated ‘B Class’. I don’t find any other district page with that rating. All are mostly ‘stub’ and a few ‘start’. Thanks again for the support. I have received the photographs from Durgapur Steel Plant but I am awaiting their communication about these being available to the public domain. -- P.K.Niyogi 13:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I am really surprised too. I actually didn't look at it for the last 3/4 days as I was on a break. So the credit goes to you and others who were active during that period. Great!--ppm 15:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

South Indian Cinema and Music Award
Dear Dwaipayanc: Just thought we'd need experienced Wikipedians to discuss about the introduction or removal of a new barnstar for South Indian Cinema and Music. Would appreciate very much you taking a look at the discussion and perhaps providing your comment here. Thank you. Best wishes, AppleJuggler 15:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

What r u working on now a days? any new topic?--ppm 18:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Folding@home

 * Comment Not bad. I'd like to see some points covered:
 * If I run the program while doing something else in my computer, does it significantly affect the speed of performance?
 * Is there any significant stastistical trend among people who allow there computer to use the program (for example, whether most of the users are chemistry/biology students)? (however, this data will be :*How does merely "contributing electricity" by Playstation3 would help the project?
 * Need to have more wikilinks to technical terms. For a person who does not understand computer lingo adequately, sometimes it is tough to read the article. For example, what is "450 X1900" GPU, or, what is "x86-64" Linux?
 * "...is measured against couple simple qualificators." - what is couple simple qualificators? Or am I missing some word?
 * WU=working units, right?
 * "With push to larger WUs and longer folding timeslices, the system speed is influencing more the possible porting decision than the possible system count" - hard to understand. Please elaborate. Also please wikilink System speed and system count.
 * How about a section on problems/bugs of the program? Is there any controversy regarding it's acceptability among the scientific community?
 * Why did not Google toolbar incorporate the program this time?
 * Lead needs slight expansion.
 * I think addressing these concerns would help some sections get rid of the "stubby" look as noted above by Selmo. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for the additions. They were very helpful. BTW, do you think the article is ready for FAC? Or do we still need more info/major structural changes. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I am aware that the pass is not open to tourists before 2012. That is why I have edited all sentences that said something like "...now Tibetans would be able to...", to now say that "...the pass makes the distance shorter..", etc. If you think any more correction is required to make things clearer, please go ahead with it. Just drop a note to Nichalp, as he has asked me when will I stop editing it so that he can flex his muscles there. About the image, I have no idea. It was added by Nichalp, and I haven't deleted it. If you have doubts over its validity, please consult him. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I have left him a message at the article's talk page. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 15:17, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

As you mentioned, there are issues with the prose, namely it is tilted to the Indian POV. I will try and balance the prose over the next weekend. Secondly the infobox is pro-India, that needs to be changed. To answer your question about the image. I did not add the image to the article, but this is the source:. The photographer is a native of Kalimpong, so he would know best. =Nichalp  «Talk»=  15:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be posting further comments on the Nathula talk page. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  15:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello,To mention Ambuj Saxena I don't think that the pass is closed for tourist as I visited it in October, 2005. He have to be sure about it. Go on with the project I am with it.Amartyabag 16:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the context was to allow ordinary civilians to cross over, like the India-Nepal border. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  17:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Partition of India
Hi,

Well copy-pasting from Partition of India wont solve the problem, page histories have to move too!. Actually some guys moved the page unilateralyy to Collapse of British India. I accidently moved it to Partition Of India rather than Partition of India!

Yes, I have taken care of inline citations and references from my previous learning on Chalukya page. I will submit for FA soon. Ok, I will take a look at Tamil people article also. I need someone to proof read Hoysala for grammer, typos though.I was working with Mattisse, who seemed to be interested but has some other problems keeping him busy. Can you suggest someone.Dineshkannambadi 13:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

New film
Saw you set up the Sacred Evil article - IMDB doesn't have much on this, and says it's still in production. Does it have an official website?--Shtove 00:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. I guess the links could go in to the article. I left a message at Talk:Bollywood wondering if thrillers and horror would become mainstream for Indian producers - any ideas, links?--Shtove 16:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Hoysala
Hi. I just wanted to clarify a point that you made during copy edit. The collective term used to describe the entire clan is called Hoysala, as described in the "legend" section. The word Hoysala = Hoy + Sala. Even scholars are not really clear which one of the early kings was "sala" though almost all records of the Hoysalas from 1117 narrates a story of "sala" as the founder and that he was from Sosevur (Chikmagalur district) As one may imagine, the chieftains from Arekalla(950 CE)-->Maruga-->Nripa Kama I(976)-->Munda(1006-1026)-->Nripa Kama II(1026-1047) may have been hereditery chieftains belonging the the same family lineage. I am going to add more info on legends from my source which I seem to have missed earlier.Dineshkannambadi 01:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Sutanuti
First, thanks for your excellent editing of Nabakrishna Deb. I think there still is a lot to learn. Second, I have been trying to gather some material on Sutanuti. I find that much of the material is common for Kalikata, Sutanuti and Gobindapur. That led me to think whether we should combine the three pages. Alternatively, I can first develop the Sutanati page and then you can think what to do. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 03:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I will work on Sutanuti. I am not very knowledgeable about Cinema matters. At one point of time I was secretary of Burnpur Film Society but then I lost touch. Regards. -- P.K.Niyogi 15:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
